Detailed Answer Explanation

This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Form: Rigid/Strict. Content: Chaos/Revolution. Interaction: Mirrors constraints containing rebellion. Authors structure their writing purposefully to guide readers through their ideas. Identify the organizational pattern (cause-effect, compare-contrast, problem-solution) and how each part contributes to the whole. Authors choose organizational patterns deliberately to enhance their message. Recognizing whether a text uses chronological order, cause-effect, compare-contrast, or problem-solution helps you understand the author's purpose and follow the logic.

Key Evidence:

• "tension"

• "mirrors the societal constraints"

Why others are wrong: A (No evidence.), C (Revolution/Chaos.), D (Intentional choice.).
